Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence Exhibition/Reception: Beata Czop
Thursday, February 24 , 6-7:30 pm
February brings Beata Czop to the Weir Farm artist-in-residency program. In her Weir Farm experience, Ms. Czop expects to create an interior that reflects the spirit of the home. The inside would be transformed to amplify the symbolic significance of what a home is. According to the artist, whether it is painting, sculpture, music or performance, she fully immerses herself in her work so that she can be transformed by the process. Her paintings and drawings inspire large scale installations. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library. Registration suggested.
